----------------------------------------
Band of Comerados:
Band of Comerados is a high energy string band from Portland, Oregon. In their second decade as a band, BoC stays true to the goal that started it all: playing music that makes you feel good. Call it bluegrass, jamgrass, folk, or indie, what sets this string band apart is their intricate instrumentation, vocal harmonies, intense improvisational jams, and the fact that these guys have so much damn fun when they’re playing live music!
Months after celebrating 10 years as a band, the four original members added a fifth, with Alex Carlson and his viola joining in late 2025. BoC has released five records since starting out, but the live show is where the band is truly at home. With a “no two shows are ever the same” approach, you won’t know which songs from the vast catalogue you’re going to hear on a given night, but you can be sure you will be moving and grooving through space and time

Alder Street:
Alder Street is boot-stompin’, gritty, and bourbon flavored. The band draws its inspiration from a variety of sources, evinced by original tunes that break the mold of traditional bluegrass, and reprises ranging from Iron Maiden to Bill Monroe.
The band first formed for a benefit show from a hodgepodge of musicians living in Eugene’s infamous Campbell Club Cooperative on Alder Street. Over the years Alder Street blossomed in Eugene's infamous local music scene.
Alder Street's latest album, Americannibal, was released in May 2014 at Seattle Folklife. It has been described as "a tight, polished study on the frontiers of contemporary bluegrass" - Eugene Weekly
Alder Street's line-up consists of Chris Kelley (banjo), Jesse Lawton (mandolin), Aaron Nelson, (bass), Ian Royer (guitar), Emily West (drums) and Jake Beckwith (fiddle).
